Procedures for Hearings before Police Civil Service Commission and Independent Hearing Examiners. It is expressly agreed that Police Civil Service Commission hearings and hearings before Hearing Examiners under 143.057 are informal administrative hearings and are not subject to discovery or evidentiary processes. Specifically it is understood that neither the Texas Rules of Evidence (TRE) nor the Texas Rules of Court (TRC) apply to such hearings. If the Department calls a witness to testify during a hearing and that witness has given a statement to Internal Affairs regarding the pending case, then the Department will provide a copy of that statement to the Officer's counsel at the time the witness is called to testify.
